This book is a profound look into the criminal justice system and the oppression of those who have been imprisoned and, in the context of the cases detailed here, wrongly sentenced to death. Just Mercy is an important, challenging read that everyone, regardless of background/race/beliefs, should absolutely check out. The audiobook added another layer of poignancy and depth as Bryan Stevenson was the narrator. 100000/5 stars. Highly recommend. 

"Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done." Read that again.
